Long, long ago...

Ok, there's been a lot of Star Wars synergy in my life recently, and I knew I had to post about it when I saw the Illinois license plate "JEDIKGT" on the drive into work this morning.

First, I have to say that the recently released Jedi Academy demo that Reid posted about over on his weblog is really polished. Say what you want about Jedi Knight and Jedi Outcast, the third time's a charm. This went from "who cares" to "Desiree and I will kill many people in team Free for All - it is our... destiny."

Desiree's desire to play a shooter - a genre she only very seldom gets into - is no doubt inspired by the amount of fun she's having with Knights of the Old Republic - she finally got started on it and is loving it (a sentiment I'm sure she'll expound on by commenting on this post). She's somewhere between half and two-thirds of the way through the light-side story, while I'm a little less than a quarter of the way through on the dark side. (Just to see how the story's different! Honest!)

KotOR is a great reminder of what an interesting setting the Star Wars universe can be for a story, especially when it's not told by a post-RotJ George Lucas. Like, for example, if Star Wars stories were being told by Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack?
